Acknowledgments and Collaborations

Bringing webR to Quarto

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to several individuals and teams who played a pivotal role in bringing quarto-webr to life as an extension for Quarto. Without their dedication and contributions, this project would not have been possible.

quarto-webr Extension Core Developers

• James Joseph Balamuta
• JooYoung Seo for accessibility improvements.

They played a pivotal role in shaping the development of this Quarto extension.

webR Core Developers

• George Stagg
• Lionel Henry

Their tireless efforts and expertise in developing webR were instrumental in being able to even develop this extension for Quarto. We are immensely grateful for their contribution of the webR project. Further, we greatly appreciate them answering our questions and providing guidance throughout the development process.

Early Testing Feedback

We extend our sincere appreciation to the following individuals for providing early testing feedback on the extension:

• Eli E. Holmes
• Bob Rudis

Their insightful feedback and suggestions have been invaluable in refining and enhancing the functionality of the extension.

Quarto Team Assistance

We would like to acknowledge the Quarto team for their assistance in setting up a new code cell type, which greatly improved the overall functionality of the extension. You can view the discussion here.

Inspirations

Our project built upon the initial proof of concept for a standalone Quarto HTML document, made possible by the work of the coatless-r-n-d/webR-quarto-demos repository.

Additionally, we were inspired by the following public-facing examples from the webR Core developers that contributed to the initial standalone experiment:

• Source of Tidyverse Blog Post and Minor fix
• webR documentation landing page (Live page)

Fin

Once again, thank you to everyone who contributed, collaborated, and provided support throughout this project. Your dedication and expertise have made this achievement possible.

Important

This Quarto extension is open source software and is not affiliated with Posit, Quarto, or webR. The extension is at best a community effort to simplify the integration of webR inside of Quarto generated documents.
